White retro shorts

I wanted a pair of white shorts for some time now but I haven't found a pattern I liked...that until Burda 07/2013 hit the stores. It was love at first sight. I only made them a little longer with about 5 cm so I can wear them at work also.

I used pattern #105C from B 07/2013.

Love and kisses, 

Pink-ish summer top

I had some leftover orange pink-ish fabric with a nice patter but I didn't knew what to do with it. So I started looking through Burda magazines and I've found a really nice top. The thing was that I didn't had enought fabric to make the front and the back from one piece so I've made them from 2 pieces each. I think the pattern of the fabric helped a lot because you can barely see the seam.

Very easy pattern. I omitted the slir in the front because I'm not such a fan of them.

I've used pattern #101 from Burda Style 05/2013.

Love and kisses, 

Black Burda jacket

Hy guys...I now I've been writing so few posts in the past 2 months but I've been preparing a lot of stuff for you guys: some tutorials, trying to redesign my blog (and learning some html in the same time), crocheting some things for my shop and a lot of researching on Pinterest :D (I'm addicted to Pinterest what can I say).

In the meantime, while the tutorials are ready for blogging I let you with some cute buttons I received from a friend of mine from Greece and a jacket I made last year and I didn't blog about it...

aren't they cute? 

I'm still debating on whatever to use them on a blouse or on a skirt...

any ideas?

Black office pants

First, I'm so sorry that I wasn't in the blogging world for a few days....but I have a reason and it's a good one but not for me: I've been down with a cold and finally it passed.

And that being said here is a pair of pants that I made.

Gray glossy jacket

I made this jacket to wear with the previous pants (here) and because I had and still have some fabric left. I think I will make a skirt too and so to make a complete suit.

Here are the pictures and you will see that I also modified this pattern a little.

Gray glossy pants

I don't know why I like to wear pants...oh wait I do know: I look good in office style pants but not in office style skirts (because in my opinion an office skirt is below the knees). but I look ok in short skirts :D

So here is a pair of pants good for the office but have a little twist (because as you noticed I like to do things classy but not so classy, you know, with a twist).

Happy, Happy, Joy, Joy

I don't even know what to write because I'm practically doing the dance of joy......
......
......
......

Ok. Now I'm calmer. So the reason for my happiness right now is......"drums please": my minty dress got featured on the front page of Burdastyle.com on the "Featured Member Projects" section. I ALWAYS wanted to get on the first page of Burda.

And here is the proof:

Disregard the open tabs I have in crome or my bookmarks or anything because I am so eagerly to share my joy with you I'm not even going to edit the printscreen.

I'm now going to share my joy on facebook too so,
Love and kisses,

Pencil skirt

I've always wanted a pencil skirt that looked good on me but I never found one in the shops. Then burda 2/2011 came out an a pattern caught my eye. It was not your ordinary pencil skirt, it had a twist and I fell in love.

Favorite pants

I really, really love this pants. I think I wore them all summer last year. They are soooo comfy and were easy to make.

White and blue balloon

Well, it's not quite a balloon, it's a dress. But it inflates as a balloon when the wind is blowing and it's so hard to get a good picture of it...
